Discover the ease of converting square micrometers to barns with our user-friendly µm² to b tool, crafted by Newtum. Dive into precision conversions with curiosity-piquing simplicity.
A square micrometer (µm²) is a metric unit of area equal to one trillionth of a square meter, or one millionth of a square millimeter. It is commonly used in fields like materials science and microfabrication to measure extremely small surface areas.
Definition of BarnA barn is a non-SI unit of area used in nuclear physics to quantify the cross-sectional area of atomic nuclei and scattering events. One barn equals 10^-28 square meters, signifying a very small area comparable to the size of a uranium nucleus.
| Square Micrometer (µm²) | Barn (b) |
|---|---|
| 1 µm² | 1e+12 b |
| 10 µm² | 1e+13 b |
| 100 µm² | 1e+14 b |
| 1,000 µm² | 1e+15 b |
| 10,000 µm² | 1e+16 b |
| 100,000 µm² | 1e+17 b |
| 1,000,000 µm² | 1e+18 b |
| 10,000,000 µm² | 1e+19 b |
| 100,000,000 µm² | 1e+20 b |
| 1,000,000,000 µm² | 1e+21 b |
1 µm² = 1e+12 b
1 b = 1e-12 µm²
Example 1:
Convert 5 µm² to b:
5 µm² = 5 × 1e+12 b = 5e+12 b
Example 2:
Convert 2.5 µm² to b:
2.5 µm² = 2.5 × 1e+12 b = 2.5e+12 b
